How the Hesed Love of God Encourages Us In Suffering
“Smile, Jesus Loves You!” seems like a platitude when life is hard. But is it? Today we uncover how the love of God encourages us in suffering.
How the Hesed Love of God Encourages Us In Suffering – Episode #64 of the UnPerfect Podcast
In this episode of the UnPerfect Podcast, we continue unpacking the context of Romans 8:28. If you missed last week’s episode – part one of this 2-part series – you can listen to it here. Last week we focused on the verses leading up to verse 28, reminding us that suffering is crucial to how God works things together for our good. This week we discuss how the Hesed love of God encourages us in suffering.
Truths we unpack in this episode:
- what it means to no longer live under condemnation
- how the God of love makes us more than conquerors
- why God’s Hesed love is very different from human love
- how God’s active love makes a difference in my suffering
